Photography   

       I wanted to gather research of aerial landscape views of Africa,I came across the work of  Yan arthus bertrand and was blown away by how stunning they where.I love the shapes and feel they could be fabulous inspiration for a makeup design.

lovely shapes for perhaps the body.by adding clay to the body and with tools creating shapes on the body to resemble maybe a necklace falling around the neck?

I love the shapes in this image,possibly be good for around the eyebrows or sticks in the hair??

Dripping down the face

Markings on the chest

one singular tree in the dessert i love the orange against the grays they seem really metalic.

I love the 3d feel of this image and some beautiful scarification inspiration.

My favorite it looks like skin with blood drips but its Scarlet ibis birds flying over Africa . It looks like a fresh blood wound from scarification
The red looks so striking against the black!
